Allan Markin represents one of Canada’s great entrepreneurial success stories. In 1989, Canadian Natural was an oil and gas company operating in Alberta with five employees producing about 1400 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/D) with a market capitalization of about $30 million. Through growth and acquisition, Canadian Natural now produces over 630,000 BOE/D. Throughout his 22 years as Chairman, Allan Markin has lived his values of vision and commitment, beginning with the company’s Mission Statement: “doing it right with fun and integrity.” Allan’s desire for balance between those two values has been integral to his success. His commitment to his employees and shareholders includes an innovative wellness program which consists of flying a team of doctors out into the field regularly. Allan also makes it a priority to meet every field staffer at least once a year. He believes that “you have to be there, you have to touch the steel” to be successful.
